Question

VC++ error - cannot open file "odbccp32.libcomctl32.lib"

Answer 1

A:

Your library search path is not correct. Add the path where these files exist to your library search path. In VS2008, goto Tools->Options , Undser Projects and Solutions select VC++ directories. Then in the combo box select library files and set the proper path.

no space in between, i just copyed this error message from the error console. :(

coderex 2009-07-20 10:21:18

Add the space. It should solve the problem provided the lib path is proper.

Ya, what he means is your input has a space missing, not the error.

Answer 3

+1 A:

Sounds like your project has got some bad entries in the libraries part. The ODBC library is actually called odbc32.lib (odbccp.dll is the control panel library) and the common controls is called comctl32.lib.

Answer 4

A:

It sounds like you're using an older Visual C++ Express, where the Platform SDK was not included. You can download it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=4377f86d-c913-4b5c-b87e-ef72e5b4e065&displaylang=en
